Wait. So smoking weed in a legal adult use state is juvenile? Or is the outraged reaction to a grown man smoking weed in a legal adult use state juvenile?

Feigned outrage has been all over social media this morning. https://money.cnn.com/2018/09/07/technology/elon-musk-joe-rogan/index.html

I don’t get motion sickness, but that video pushed me pretty close to it.

He was essentially Han Solo for southern folks. He found his niche and rolled with it. I have no problem with that. I’d watch a marathon of Burt Reynolds movies before watching one the kidnapped/action adventure movies Liam Neeson has turned into his niche.

^^^^^This. Fortunately, or unfortunately.

Smokey And The Bandit, as well as Cannonball Run, were mainstays of my youth.

I honestly doubt there is a single company on the planet that looks at any multiple item purchase trying to figure out which item is the most prized by the purchaser.

They’re all really good. I think Blondie and The Doors is still my favorite.

I would love to here an instrumental version of Code Girl. The vocals are like nails on a blackboard to me. I had to bail less than two songs in.

It’s actually somewhat bizarre that people are still arguing that media that makes physical contact with the pickup mechanism is still more viable than media that doesn’t. Things that rub together eventually wear down and fail. This is common knowledge 101.

Sure it is. It’s about tape outstripping optical hard drives. Data is data, whether it be text, photos, music, video, etc.

Digital music is data.

A reactionary piece to a new form if music? How shocking!

Awesome! And BTW, it’s not an issue for you because of all the storage space, but nobody should let their inner audiophile stop them from downsampling ALAC to 256 AAC for their phone or iPod. There is no audible difference between the two.

How weird is it that the only two teams to go 0-16 both swept their preseason games?

I guess altruistic freeware simply ain't dead yet?

So for some reason I'm still not completely clear on the whole Jazzmessengers thing. Are they resellers for the European market?

The standoff is finally over!!!!

None of which is disparaging. I didn't make my son's middle name Coltrane because I didn't think much of the man.

I understand and concur with every word of that.

The problem with “what if he lived” is that I don’t know that he could take his music any further, unless he went the European Free Improvisation route. 50 years later players are still doing what Coltrane was doing before some of them were even born. I fear there would have been a dilution of his catalog and overall legacy.

Rest assured, you could not be reading me anymore incorrectly. I don’t know, you don’t know. All I’m saying is that I think the observation made by mjzee does make a lot of sense. It’s also not a disparagement of Coltrane. He was human, with the same emotions, fears, and anxieties that have gripped humans since time began.

Did it? Why? Because he kept doing the one thing he truly loved to do? Is that heroism, or simply retaining a sense of normalcy for mental health sake?
